Nothing should be affected by moving the mouse, do you have any 3rd 
party utilities loaded that implement mouse guestures? (Something like 
MouseAxes?)

That sounds like you have a utility which implements a long double 
click. It works by detecting a long mouse press and simulating the shift 
key so the filer will open an application directory rather than running 
it. Having the shift key pressed has all sorts of side effects when 
applications are starting up, such as displaying obey files in an editor 
rather than running them.

I suggest removing any utilities which alter the desktop behaviour, 
unless you are actively using them (many things are installed because 
they sounded good, and then forgotten about, resulting in unexpected 
behaviour later). If you are using them, then just keep hands off until 
there is no other activity.
